Beware of gossip, with a personalized and professional support from SLC, it is possible to use the power of Linux in your everyday tasks. Some people around you tell you ah! I already tried that, do not bother, it's complicated!. Others will say the famous, if you like that hack!
The less informed will tell you that it stink! The fact is that these people are not competent enough to configure a Linux system and are given up even before they understood this new environment, they didn't actually even tried!. Linux is not Windows! Windows is not Mac or Linux is not Mac either! The big advantage of Linux is that it is reliable, powerful, insensitive to virus and free!. Even the server version is free. How much did you pay for your last Windows Server user rights???
Also Linux will easily be install on any existing hardware and because of its ease of use everybody can enjoy it! Including a very large repository of more than 5000 software (free) and easy install in two clicks via the Internet, you will always find a software that suit your needs.
There are three different computer science here that require the ability to accept the differences, weaknesses and strengths of each of them, but most of all it is essential to know a little bit of the language. Without the knowledge of the language you need an interpreter! Solutions Linux excel in this field of activity!
A lot of people will take refuge in what they know best. The effort is minimal, it elevates them to the rank of PROS and a wall of isolation is built around them.
The fact is that each system have its strengths and weaknesses, just like all of us. And a real IT consultant should be able to find the best solution by considering several factors. The program being used, the hardware configuration, desired outcomes, budget and the existing IT. Its recommendations will be based on several criteria, the first being his knowledge of other available systems.
So ask him the question: Do you know or are your familiar with Linux? His answer should give you a good idea of how expensive his solution will be, it's often very expensive. User rights for Windows Server 2003 are also very exorbitant, many time a full reinstallment of Windows is necessary, utility software like MS Office 2007 at corporate inflated price or the replacement of hardware equipment to monitor the many software upgrade force you into unnecessary consumption.
Why not looking for the same issue on Mac? The question could be asked! We assume here that the hardware was already in place or nearly so, and it needed only some minor additions and changes. In an office where we work a lot with video and graphics, this option should be considered . Everything being relative to the budgets available, naturally!
At Solutions Linux ,be assure that all the possibilities of the Linux environment will be presented honestly. Those of Windows also. There will be no attempt to make you believe in unnecessary , costly and often innapropriate solutions. It's our committment. |
